Author
An irreplaceable legendary Go player and the ultimate competitor of his era. He holds the unprecedented records of the most career wins in history (1,953 wins) and the most tournament championships globally (160 titles).
In 1989, at the Ing Cup Go Olympics—which gathered the top players from China, Japan, and South Korea—he defeated a succession of world-class players to win the tournament‘s inaugural championship. This achievement single-handedly elevated Korean Go, which had until then been considered a peripheral player, to the pinnacle of the sport, earning him the title “Emperor of Go.”
He created the most brilliant achievements in the history of Korean and world Go. Among his disciples is Lee Chang-ho and other renowned players who have followed in his footsteps.
